Preposition of "the side of the road"
Hi there
Which preposition goes with the phrase "the side of the road"?
on, at, or by?
Is there any difference between American and British English in this case?
Thanks in advance
Top answer
on, at, or by? They all work in the US of A. Context will dictate which one to use.

- They all work in the US of A.
- Context will dictate which one to use.
- For example, I might say there was a dead opossum on the side of the road, a fruitstand at the side of the road, and an accident shrine by the side of the road.
- It's a judgment call each time, and others may disagree with my choices.
